Great easy read that takes one back to a simpler time and celebrates the hidden success one can have in the seedy enterprise of gambling.
It inspired at least one trip to Vegas, where I lost plenty!
But was inspired to think winning was possible.

Read it years ago before going to Vegas...yet to win a dime.

I'm sure it was useful when it was written, but 35 years later it's very outdated.
